6 days preop, my clinic called yesterday and told me to be there at 715 next Wednesday. Starting to freak out ! Also have a small cold starting and have done every home remedy know to man to get rid of it. I think it is going away! Also, just realized my period is due on the 20th, my surgery is scheduled for 18th. What happens if
It comes early ?? Will that affect my surgery? Finally got up the nerve to post pics , so hard to do! I spend my whole life covering my stomach, so to take pics and pot them seems so wrong! Cannot wait to be on the flat side! Been reading everyone's post op stories and am hopefully learning as I go. I haven't bought a lot of stuff actually. I am borrowing a toilet seat and recliner and am picking up the gauze pads etc this weekend. My nurse said to bring a long dress or night gown to wear home after surgery as my clinic does
Not offer overnight stays. I think I will treat myself to a new lovely gown this weekend. Thank you to everyone for posting. The closer I get the more I seem to be on here!

Dr. Ken Smith:) just coming up on one year post op and was thinking of posting se Update pics:) thanks for the kind words and bringing me back :) the last year has not been easy, my recovery was very long and I found out I had an extremely large kidney stone during recovery, and have since had surgery to remove it. 2 large surgeries in 8 months was rough and I am just starting to feel better now:) my surgeon wants to do a slight revision on my tummy tuck as I have a slight bump there still but the thought of more surgery is awful to me right now! I happy with results despite the slight bump:) I feel so much better about myself, I Confident and so happy to no longer feel the need to cover my stomach. It has definatly changed my life! I am going to my husbands Christmas party on Sunday so I will post new pics in a new dress then:)
